I don't know if somebody else is also having the same problem as mine. Some junks has got access to my forms page they are keep sending me junk through those page to buy vi#gra or some other pills and when I see that in my inbox I think it is a lead but later on it ............. Same thing is happening with wordpress. I don't know what should I do.

Did you get any answers to this. My freakin wordpress has been debilitated due to spammer "who is" inquiries. People can't post comments and I can't moderate the useless inquiries anymore. I'm sure the answer is a verification form that must be complete to post....I hate spammers!

http://wordpress.com/signup/
Sign up there and you can get an Askimet Key. The Askimet plugin, I believe, comes default with new wordpress installations. Here is an excerpt from my plugin page:

Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web serivce to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use this service. You can review the spam it catches under “Manage” and it automatically deletes old spam after 15 days.

So just signup, get your API key, activate your askimet plugin and you are set. As for other forms being spammed - you are probably a victim of PHP Email injection.
